    CLAMP doesn't do yaoi, but they're famous for hinty BL-ness. Like Touya and Yukito in CCS, or like EVERYONE in Gohou Drug.
    I don't know, Seishirou and Subaru get pretty explicit (in a fun, stabby, angsty way...)...

    Anyway, It's been a while since I bought anything but I'd suggest...

    Vampire Game: If you like comedy and splattering bits of romance. It gets kind of dark in some areas but it's fairly enjoyable. I mean, the idea of a vampire king getting reincarnated in the form of a cat (after trying to take for world domination out of boredom) if pretty amusing in it's own right.

    Alice 19th: I'm usually kind of iffy towards Yuu Watase's stuff (I collect a few like Fushigi Yugi and Ceres but not things like Perfect Boyfriend or Midori Days) because the heroines make me want to gag but A19 has a good story and cast to go along with it. The idea of the power of words was actually pretty interesting.

    Cain saga: Officially it has 13 volumes, the first 5 apart of the "Count Cain" part and the last 8 apart of Godchild (which she wrote several years later so there's a difference in art style). Warning, there is generous amounts of blood, gore, mind ****s, mystery, and gothicness. It starts kind of slow (and art's kind bland) but then starts speeding up around volume 3 and really grows. If you like mystery and mind games you'll probably like this.

    The top five I recommend to you, are:

    1. Nodame Cantabile (Tomoko Ninomiya)
    2. Skip Beat! (Can't remember)
    3. Kiss (Matsumoto Tomo)
    4. Bija ga Yaju/Beauty is the Beast (Matsumoto Tomo)
    5. Wallflower/Perfect Girl Evolution (Can't remember)

    Nodame Cantabile: Basically, it's amazing. I give it closely a ten, because it really is great. Nodame is the best, as you may or may not some day read, heroine the world has ever seen. Chiaki is also amazing, because - because he is. It, Nodame Cantabile, has everything - that bit of romance, humor, music, drama, and that little spice for everyone.

    Also, it can be read online for free at: Onemanga.com

    2. Skip Beat: Here's another unusual heroine for you. It's an original concept, and Kyoko is such a loveable and hilarious character. It is Kyoko making her rise to fame, while trying to eliminate Showa Fu's (the guy who jilted her in favor or fame) career. The mangaka here has enjoyable art work. Read it free at Spectrum Nexus - thespectrum.com/or net?

    3. Kiss: ZOMG! - I love it. It's a stylish romance between a piano teacher and his student, Kae Ogawa (7 or 8 years difference). The artwork may take a while to get used to, because it is slightly unconventional, with more emphasis placed on the body (rather than the face, although nice faces), but you'll love it after a while. And, the romantic moments make you melt - if you like romance and all. Great mangaka - I recommend anything by Matsumoto-Sensei. This can be read at various online scanlators, but, for current releases, ochibichan.co.nr

    4. Bija ga Yaju: I have a trend with loving weird heroines. Eimi Yamashita is no exception. Same thing artwork wise, as with Kiss, but the story is so funny and a bit plotless, if not just a simple romance between Wanichin (Take) and Eimi and her crazy adventures with her school dormmates. Amazingly cute and funny. Can be found at one manga as well.

    5. Wallflower: I'm not as seasoned with this as I am with the others, but Sunako, the heroine, is amazing - as well as her new housemates. Long, but definately worth looking into. Also readable at one manga.

    I second JellybeanQueen2... ><;; Black Cat is a bit of a long series, but it is all on onemanga. It's really worth the length. ^^;;

    DNAngel is an AMAZING series as well! It's still going... but so far, the love story is brilliantly done! It has an almost surreal feel to it, and the anime is a great tear-jerker.

    Rurouni Kenshin is a great action story, albeit a LONG one... ><;; But again, totally worth it~

    I hope you found some interesting Mangas~ (This was last posted in 2 months ago ><;; ) But I guess this goes for anyone who is looking for a good manga to read? ><;;

    Well I got a little Manhwa (Korean manga) called Demon Diary which consests of 7 Volumes only. It's really good but too short D:Though becareful. When you finish the first volume, dont go to the further pages in the book where the short stories are because in the first volumes there was a little short story at the end which has nothing to do with Demon Diary that contains a little Yaoi.... very little so dont worry ^^

    Though I really enjoyed reading Demon Diary. It contains comedy, fantasy and action. :O You gotta love a manga about the bad guys for once! 8D

    Also, I'd like to point out that there is an english version of the Manhwa ofcourse and just to let you know... the art work is BEAUTIFULL.

    Ken Akamatsu's Negima! is a lot of fun. The story is very engaging and it's really funny too, ranging from slapstick physical comedy to subtle puns and innuendos. if you can't find something to laugh at in Negima! your sense of humor may indeed be broken. The story also goes off on several tangents as subplots for all of the characters are developed. There is a lot of fanservice, which I thought I hated, but it's in like all of my favorite series. So maybe I like fanservice? I dunno. Says the guy with the suggestive sig pic of the girl eating a chocolate.
